Hey guys, I am writing a character and I would like to know how you would do the following power. I have a few ideas of my own but I rather have you tell me how YOU would do it to give me extra inspiration... The character (a brick) is powered by some kind of energy. The energy gives him fairly high stats (uh well... brick level you know). However, he can you the energy to do all sort of neat tricks placed in a multipower. When he uses a power from his multipower he has instant access to the power (as per the standrad multipower rules) but it does a few things: 1) All his energy enhanced stats drop by 10 to 15 AP (representing the fact that he needs …

Hi There, I was just wondering how GM's out there handle presence attacks against their super-heroes...is it just me or is rather "unheroic" for a character to be humbled this way? If the PRE attack is successful do you just "take control" of that character until its effect wears off? Thanks for your help/advice.

Last night a friend of mine discover an online game called City of Heroes. While searching its forum he came upon following discussion on origins. From there, he discovered a page with general character development. So it got me wondering about superhero specific questions to help develop a character. The only one I have come up with so far is…. If someone made an exact clone of your character right down to your memories, how would you react? Would you hate him or treat him as a brother?

Since we've had fun and games compiling a list of super names, I thought it might be useful if we began constructing a list of super team names. So to start with, these are from my campaigns: Hero Groups The Unknown Street Justice Stormfront (loose federation of vigilantes led by the character Storm) EuroGuard Team UK The Paladins (WW2 international super alliance) The New Paladins (1950s superteam) Project Tricolour - French superteam League of Patriots Villain Groups SHOCK - Super Humans Opposing Christ's Kingdom (Satanic villain group Dragon Circle, the Armada - Spanish criminal alliance HeadHunters .. there have been othe…

There are lots of threads with character sheets. I thought a thread to help with backgrounds might be nice. Here is a background of another of my characters. I want help fleshing it out and seeing If I left the character open for evil GM's. (I hate it when a GM looks at my character and grins) BACKGROUND As all young children, Mindy had a normal childhood. Going to school, playing with friends and doing all the things a child does. She was your normal little kid till the age of 12. At age 12 her back and upper shoulders grew malformations. Mindy was able to hide it for a few weeks under baggy and lose shirts. When her parents found out about the g…

I've known several of these. The first was mine, an elven fighter, (her highest stat a 14 and average of 9) who could NOT fire a bow into melee that included teammates without hitting the teammate, or worse, his special paladin warhorse.... She also never once made her 90% elven resistance to Enc/Charm/Sleep spells. However she also could not be hit in melee combat. The DM of the time had a capture scenario once, hordes of rats that gradually whitled down the team to unconsciousness fairly quickly, all but me. After several hours of this the rats are almost all dead, hundreds of them and he grabs some robed miniatures and has me save versus Sleep... Always wondered …

...every month, Game Trade Magazine did an article using the various Superhero Systems to simulate the Cool Game/Character of the month? Seeing the Hulk done for Hero 5th, Marvel, SAS, and M&M was interesting. It'd be fun, be cool to see how different systems take different characters. Next month...hm...how about either Hellboy or an anime character?

I began this character during one of our "high DEX/normal DEX" discussions. My basic concept was, "What if someone else got ahold of Doctor Octopus' tentacles?" In this case, that someone is Eddie Perretti, a Danny Kaye/Fred Astaire wannabe whose career hasn't gone so well since musicals went out of fashion. Too bad, since he really is a good actor and singer despite his monumental ego. He stumbled upon the villain Cuttlefish's spare set of arms and decided becoming a superhero would be a good way to boost his career. Now he's sought not only by the angry criminal but the police as well, who think he's Cuttlefish. Please let me know what you think. Name: D…

Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I am wondering where (on-line or in the Seattle, WA area) you all get your miniatures for use with Champions? Ideally, I'm looking for a decent selection of semi-generic heroes (maybe a caped, un-caped and brick for each sex) as well as a few guys in business suits (corporate types are the true villians, heh heh) and goons (uniformed as well as plain clothes). Any thoughts? Thanks. Chris

Hey, guys. I need your help! I could have sworn that I saw a power in a Hero sourcebook that detailed Teleportation through reflective surfaces, a la the Mirror Master. I thought it was in the UNTIL Power's book, but I couldn't find it on second glance. Does anyone know where this power appeared? Thanks in advance!

Some thoughts on this please Im starting up a new campaign, based in the chicago area with a small (3 players or so), but tight group of 350pts players. The world it self is at modern time (after 9/11). The outlook of the world is rather dark, kind of gothic world. Filled with corrupt politicians where the scandals follow each other for the media to revel in and make money from. The crimes seem more savage than earlier.The police and various other "governmented" organizations gets less and less contributions. This makes the population put trust in superheroes and other "superheroic organizations" (such as until and primus for example). The reason for this change i…

"...could you describe the costume he was wearing?" Being a huge fan of detective shows & comics, I have decided to run a one shot (maybe every so often depending how it goes) adventure involving Chicago P.D.'s Special Investigations branch. These guys investigate crimes that may have superhuman involvement. I have a few ideas already on what I want to run, but I wanted to see what the learned panel could come up with. So what type of Law & Order/NYPD Blue/Dragnet cases could be modified to include superhuman involvement? Thanks in advance for the suggestions.

On another thread, Agent X brought up an interesting (to me) comment. I hope he doesn't mind me taking this and running with it for a new thread. Now, we could debate this one, but I don't wanna... what I want to do is ask the forumites to step up to the plate and present what they think would be stylish, exciting, powerful mystical villains. Either just the concept, or the whole write up, whatever you're willing to do. In exchange, you will recieve the never coveted Nada Prize; Your only reward the possible accolades of your peers and the sense of a job well done (and maybe a smug satisfaction that your imaginings will soon be infecting other campaign…

I'm looking to create a 'boost' ability for a character. +10 Str +30 Dex +5 Spd +6" Running +Damage Reduction. However I want the character to take 'Stress' damage while the power is on. So a couple questions: 1) Is there Power Limitation for Linked Powers anymore? I just got my 5th Edition book, and I couldn't find one. 2) How do I do the 'Stress' damage? It works similar to a Side-Effect, but I'm not sure how to arrange a Side Effect to work on an 'ongoing' power. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Todd

I'm wondering if it is possible to create a power that gives you extra phases with an activation roll? I'm thinking of a potion, sword, item that will grant an extra attack on a roll of 11 or less or some such. What do you all think? Any ideas? Is it possible in the rules framework?

Ok....I want to have my hero group face off against the Ultimates. they've beaten them twice previously, but I think that was mainly due to my own tactical ineptitude. What I need is advice, both general and specific, on how to use the Ultimates. I am using the CKC versions, but with Anklosaur replacing Radium(who really didn't fit in my opinion). My group, The Crusaders, consists of the following: Bedlam: Team leader....brick...60 STR...21 DEX...4 SPD...20-30 Defs..hardened...full life support...no significant movement powers. Dark Sun: A "jedi" type character..with all the powers associated with that concept...plus..can also use "force lightning". 24 D…
